PIPA In the News

The Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) announced that they are looking forward to working with Scott Morrison to regulate the provision of property investment advice, after it was formalised on Friday that the country's treasurer is set to become the new Prime Minister.

PIPA noted that it had already raised the matter, alongside their input on the importance of property investment, with Morrison during his tenure as the Federal Treasurer.

While this shows some progress as far as the sector is concerned, PIPA chairman Peter Koulizos said that the property investment profession as a whole hoped that a period of political stability would allow a more significant discussion on the matter.

The Liberal Party's discombobulating machinations have spat out a result and a new leader, but what will it mean for you?

Following today's vote, current federal Treasurer Scott Morrison will be Australia's new Prime Minister, marking the end of Malcolm Turnbull's leadership. Australia has not seen a prime minister finish their term since 2007.

The decision follows a roller-coaster week in Canberra with key ministers, including assistant minister to the treasurer Michael Sukkar, resigning.

Despite Roy Morgan polling revealing Julie Bishop was the easily preferred prime minister as of this morning, Treasurer Scott Morrison has received the most support within the Liberal Party.

The news is finally out, and now we know that the current Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison will be Australia's new Prime Minister, marking the end of Malcolm Turnbull's leadership.

Industry figures are divided as to what this could mean for property in Australia.

Malcolm Gunning, president of the Real Estate Institute of Australia, said that the new Morrison-led government will need to focus on unwinding APRA regulations, as he suggested personally to a member of the Liberal government.

A comprehensive study by the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) has revealsed how Australian property markets share the love around.

PIPA conducted a 30 year retrospective study of Australian capital city real estate to identify which cities were the hottest performers across each market cycle.

Chairman Peter Koulizos said that the research showed that no capital city market is the nation's top performer indefinitely.

"The facts prove Aussie investors and home buyers over the past three decades have made solid returns across almost every capital city, depending on their ability to buy at the right time," the chairman said.

The possibility of a government led by Peter Dutton is growing increasingly likely, so it's worth thinking about what a change in leader could mean for the Australian property market and property investors.

Plenty of discussion in the mainstream media has shown that there is a possibility of a change of leadership in the current government. Mr Dutton is being viewed as the most likely candidate to replace Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, resulting in a general state of confusion as to what a government led by Mr Dutton could mean for the country.

One aspect of this confusion is what it could mean for property investors. To clear this up, Nest Egg sister title Smart Property Investment spoke with experts to try to clear up any potential confusion for property investors.

According to Peter Koulizos, chairman of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia, Mr Dutton's stance on property investment is not fully known and, as such, investors need to wait and see what the effects of his leadership can have on property.

A comprehensive 30-year study has proven that Australians love their property and they love to share it with every city.

Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) led the study to identify which cities were the hottest performers across the market cycles.

Chairman Peter Koulizos said that the research showed that no capital city market is the nation's top performer indefinitely.

"The facts prove Aussie investors and home buyers over the past three decades have made solid returns across almost every capital city, depending on their ability to buy at the right time," the chairman said.

All of Australia's capital cities have been sensitive to housing market cycles over the past three decades, with price growth dominance shared across the country, according to new research.

According to a 30-year retrospective study by the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), housing market growth was shared between capital cities, with no capital reporting consistent growth over the past three decades.

For example, the research found that between 1988 and 1992, Brisbane was the strongest-performing capital city with price growth of 99 per cent, while between 1993 and 1997, it was the second weakest-performing capital with value growth of 3.8 per cent.

Similarly, over the five years between 1993 and 1997, Darwin's housing market experienced the sharpest price growth, with value increases of 56.5 per cent, but it performed weakest in the following five years (1998–2002) with price growth of 5.1 per cent.

If you want to see how property could move in the future, it's important to see how it moved in the past. New research takes a look at which capital city has been the best performing over the last 30 years and the reason behind their success.

Conducted by the Property Investment Professionals of Australia, the research revealed that no one capital city remained the top performer over that 30-year period, said its chairman Peter Koulizos.

"The facts prove Aussie investors and homebuyers over the past three decades have made solid returns across almost every capital city, depending on their ability to buy at the right time," he said.

Going as far back to the period of 1988 to 1992, Brisbane was the top performing capital city, with house prices nearly doubling at 99 per cent.

With the possibility of a government headed by the current Minister for Home Affairs, Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton, it's worth taking a moment to think about what a change in government leadership could mean for property markets and property investors around Australia.

Plenty of discussion in the mainstream media has shown that there is a possibility of a change of leadership in the current government. Mr Dutton is being viewed as the most likely candidate to replace Malcolm Turnbull, resulting in a general state of confusion as what a government led by Mr Dutton could mean for the country.

One aspect of this confusion is what it could mean for property investors. To clear this up, Smart Property Investment has asked experts, including Mr Dutton's office, to try and clear up any potential confusion for property investors.
